Never underestimate how convoluted the entire Transformers Cinematic Universe is. With each new installment, the franchise finds a way to disregard all of its rules and canon. Nothing makes sense. The only consistent thing about it was the Bayhem — explosions, sexual exploitation, racism, and the usual nonsensical material that comes with a Michael Bay film. But now that the director is out, we can hopefully look forward to something new for Transformers.

Especially when Paramount brought in a group of writers to pen up to 12 possible Transformers films. It’s still unclear if that is the number the studio is targeting. But if it is, then a possible reboot could just be the thing to help the franchise achieve Marvel Studios-like success. And that reboot may be in the works. More on the story below.

As rotten as some of the Transformers films can be, they do make a bundle at the box office, and as such these films just keep getting made. It has been almost two years since the release of the fourth Transformers film, Age of Extinction, but we know that many more are on the way. Now, we know how many more we are going to get.

According to a new report, Paramount has the dates for the next three Transformers films. That’s right, three. Not only that, they are targeting a Bumblebee spinoff for a 2018 release. More on the story below.
